EXCLUSIVE โ At least two Iranians belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guardsโ covert-action Quds Force have been plotting to assassinate former national security adviser John Bolton, according to a Justice Department official with direct knowledge of the investigation.
The source tells the Washington Examiner that the department possesses indictable evidence against the Iranians but that Biden administration officials are resisting publicly indicting the men for fear that it could derail their drive for a nuclear deal with Iran, currently nearing completion in negotiations in Vienna, Austria. Bidenโs hope is to resume the 2015 JCPOA Iran nuclear accord. Former President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the accord, and Iran suspended its compliance.
It is possible but unlikely that there are sealed indictments against the men, but the DOJ source said the seriousness of the conspiracy and the evidence warranted public indictment without delay. Sealed indictments would be unusual and probably unnecessary in this case, as they are usually used to prevent the target evading justice. The Quds Force is fully aware of U.S. law enforcement and intelligence attention toward it, so its members are unlikely to put themselves in a position to be arrested with or without a sealed indictment.
The Washington Examiner is withholding some details of the plot against Bolton for national security reasons, but the DOJ source described it in highly specific terms as supported by significant Revolutionary Guard reconnaissance activity and involved an effort to recruit an assassin on U.S. soil. A Justice Department official told the Washington Examiner that "it would be categorically false to claim that these kinds of policy considerations would drive such a charging decision."
The intelligence community became aware of the plot at an early stage, and it prompted high-level concern and a full-time Secret Service protective detail being assigned

BS he ainโt ๐ฉ why waste the ammo?
Iran plotting assassination of John Bolton, others, even while Bidennegotiates nuclear dealhands over their names and addresses.
Graham says it’s open season on bad world actors. Bolton fits the bill. Bodies blown to bits in futile wars gives him a hardon. Good riddance
Linda is a rotten actor.
He really has taken the moral high ground /s
If Iran assassinated Mr Bolton, we would have been to be officially outraged. But the number of people who would actually be sad, is tiny. Nobody likes John Bolton, nobody. He is an arrogant, backstabbing, weasel, and the one thing Mr. Yrump, the Democrats, and RINOs agree on.
Trump, not Yrump. Pardon my fat fingers early in the morning.

How can I trust any of these people anymore?
Iran hates his book too?
Well I would be for taking out Bolton and the entire Democrat party and select GOP members...Pull a Graham on them...
The stupid grows exponentially each day with this administration.
OK, Iran.
All ready on the right.
All ready on the left.
All ready on the firing line.
Shooters, you may commence firing when your targets appear.
Politicians are not our friends.
I equate Bolton, Graham, Clinton, Obama, Puppet Biden, etc. to the Iranian mullahs.
It is basically Shiite’s killing Sunni’s. I’m all for it. /spit
Bolton? That war monger won’t be any loss.
Is Iran expecting us to pay for the hit?
What do I hear, “ I double dog dare you.”
SARCASM INTENDED
They might as well go after Captain Kangaroo at the same time.
It’s not like Bolton is a high value target ....
In the spirit of negotiation,can we trade Pompeo for Graham on that list?
You’re pushing a story with a ‘source’ out of corrupt DOJ?
C’mon, man. /s
